<p>EVP_PKEY_derive_init, EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex, EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex, EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer, EVP_PKEY_derive - derive public key algorithm shared secret</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/evp.h&gt;

 int EVP_PKEY_derive_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *peer,
                                 int validate_peer);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *peer);
 int EVP_PKEY_derive(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *key, size_t *keylen);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>EVP_PKEY_derive_init() initializes a public key algorithm context <i>ctx</i> for shared secret derivation using the algorithm given when the context was created using <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_new.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3)</a> or variants thereof. The algorithm is used to fetch a <b>EVP_KEYEXCH</b> method implicitly, see <a href="../man7/provider.html">&quot;Implicit fetch&quot; in provider(7)</a> for more information about implicit fetches.</p>

<p>EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() is the same as EVP_PKEY_derive_init() but additionally sets the passed parameters <i>params</i> on the context before returning.</p>

<p>EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() sets the peer key: this will normally be a public key. The <i>validate_peer</i> will validate the public key if this value is non zero.</p>

<p>EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() is similar to EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() with <i>validate_peer</i> set to 1.</p>

<p>EVP_PKEY_derive() derives a shared secret using <i>ctx</i>. If <i>key</i> is NULL then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to the <i>keylen</i> parameter. If <i>key</i> is not NULL then before the call the <i>keylen</i> parameter should contain the length of the <i>key</i> buffer, if the call is successful the shared secret is written to <i>key</i> and the amount of data written to <i>keylen</i>.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>After the call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init(), algorithm specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the operation.</p>

<p>The function EVP_PKEY_derive() can be called more than once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>EVP_PKEY_derive_init() and EVP_PKEY_derive() return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.</p>

<h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1>

<p>Derive shared secret (for example DH or EC keys):</p>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/evp.h&gt;
 #include &lt;openssl/rsa.h&gt;

 EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx;
 ENGINE *eng;
 unsigned char *skey;
 size_t skeylen;
 EVP_PKEY *pkey, *peerkey;
 /* NB: assumes pkey, eng, peerkey have been already set up */

 ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(pkey, eng);
 if (!ctx)
     /* Error occurred */
 if (EVP_PKEY_derive_init(ctx) &lt;= 0)
     /* Error */
 if (EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(ctx, peerkey) &lt;= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Determine buffer length */
 if (EVP_PKEY_derive(ctx, NULL, &amp;skeylen) &lt;= 0)
     /* Error */

 skey = OPENSSL_malloc(skeylen);

 if (!skey)
     /* malloc failure */

 if (EVP_PKEY_derive(ctx, skey, &amp;skeylen) &lt;= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Shared secret is skey bytes written to buffer skey */</code></pre>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

<p>The EVP_PKEY_derive_init(), EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() and EVP_PKEY_derive() functions were originally added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.</p>

<p>The EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() and EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex() functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.</p>
